I watched "Beyond Skyline" because I happened to see a trailer with a couple of large alien beasties fighting among some ancient temples. This movie was worth watching for that battle, even though it's brief. I'm a giant monster fan, so that made this required viewing.

The rest of the movie contained characters behaving in ridiculous fashion given the Earth is being invaded by an alien force. Everyone in the movie has personal problems that have zero impact on anything at all. Luckily I watched for the aliens and monsters.

There isn't much of a story but there's a lot of martial arts fighting that I didn't know if it was being executed well or not. It seemed like humans kicked alien ass relatively easily. I can't remember why the aliens were engaging in hand-to-hand combat in the first place. It seemed like they had already nailed the process of invasion when they were sucking people up into their mother ship like ants into a vacuum cleaner.

The special effects were okay. Not "The Asylum" level bad, but not exactly Star Wars". If you can watch this on your "free" subscription service, go nuts. Otherwise you could skip it and you'd be none the worse.
